UN is powerless on Syria

I have been reading the paper lately and watching all the senseless killing that goes on in Syria for about two-and-one-half years now. I know that President Obama is champing at the bit to get involved in this civil war. The question is: Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? I assume that you believe that Bashar al-Assad is the bad guy, as I do.

Now, who are the good guys? The activists? I personally have my doubts, and I believe the majority of the activists belong to a number of groups that are truly not friendly to the United States.

I think a coalition of soldiers from the U.S., Britain, France, Israel, and Germany should step up to the plate and do away with Assad and his group, once and for all.

Now we must deal with the so-called good guys. And if and when the coalition leaves Syria, you take all of your equipment with you, and I mean all.

I know that the United Nations would love to send a group to observe just what direction this new group or groups is leaning to. I for one have very little tolerance for the U.N. I have seen what they accomplished in the last 20 to 30 years and I am not impressed.

I would love to see the U.N. move from New York to Amman, Jordan, or possibly Sri Lanka. Can you just imagine how much money the government would save?
